Very tasty but the filling is runny. any tips to make it compact?
I have made this twice and both times the consistency of the lemon filling is very runny, sort of like pudding. I follow the instructions and do not deviate from them. Any idea as to what I am doing wrong? By the way I bake the sweet potatoes.
absolutely heaven!! ❣️ you hit this one out of the water, taste wonderful, i could eat the whole thing but putting in the freezer already cut in slices helps allot. thanks so so much!!!!👍😁
did you use deglet or medjool for the crust. i should have used more but will definitely make again real soon, haha.
